Testing facilities to be ramped up, says Health Minister Tope
Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Friday said the State has witnessed double mutation of the virus in COVID-19 samples without any doubt and awaits the Centre’s instructions on how to deal with this mutation. “As per the oral information that I have received, Maharashtra has witnessed double mutation. Centre should tell us the remedy for it or NCDC (National Centre for Disease Control) is expected to guide us. We have not yet received any communication from them,” said Mr Tope. The Minister added that the State government had also written to the NCDC and was waiting for a response. “We await their reply even today,” he said.More Related News
